Shipping Methods for Every Vehicle
However you’d like your car handled, we’ve got a method and a service option to match.
Open Transport
Moves your car on a carrier exposed to the weather, the same type used to deliver new vehicles to dealerships.
Enclosed Transport
Shields your vehicle inside a covered trailer, offering extra protection for classic, luxury, or other high-value cars.
Rail Transport
Moves your car inside a rail car built specifically for vehicles, though it isn’t available to every area.
Flatbed Shipping
Your car rides on a flatbed trailer or truck-bed, best suited to shorter distances.
Tow Truck Shipping
Your vehicle is towed directly by a tow truck, another option for shorter distances.
Door-to-Door Service
A driver picks up and delivers your car directly to the address you choose.
Terminal-to-Terminal Service
Drop off and collect your vehicle at one of our terminals in major cities across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shipping Cars
How does car shipping work?
Once you request a quote, an MVS Canada agent matches your vehicle with a licensed, insured carrier and confirms your pickup and delivery details. From there, your car travels by open, enclosed, or rail transport, and you can track it online until it arrives.
Can I ship more than one car at a time?
Yes. We coordinate shipments for individuals moving several vehicles, as well as dealerships and auction buyers handling multiple cars at once. Share the pickup and delivery details for each vehicle, and we’ll arrange transport through our Canada-wide network, no matter how many vehicles you’re moving.
What’s the difference between open and enclosed car shipping?
Open shipping moves your car on a carrier exposed to the weather, similar to how new vehicles reach dealerships. Enclosed shipping protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer, which is a better fit for classic, luxury, or other high-value cars.
Do you ship cars door-to-door or to a terminal?
Yes to both. Choose door-to-door service, where a driver picks up and delivers your car directly, or terminal-to-terminal service, where you drop off and collect your vehicle at one of our terminals in major cities across Canada. Either way, your car travels with a licensed, insured carrier.
Is my car insured while it’s being shipped?
Yes. Every shipment includes transport insurance, and your vehicle is handled by a licensed and insured carrier from our network from pickup to delivery. Read more about our insurance and licensing before you request a quote, so you can book with confidence.
How do I get a quote for shipping cars?
Request a free quote online or by phone, and share your pickup and delivery details along with the vehicles you need moved. An MVS Canada agent will follow up with pricing and help you choose the right transport option for your situation.
